Happy Father's Day

My dad was a solder in the Air Force, a railroad man with Union Pacific, a survivor after falling down a 35' pole, mauled by a pit bull, thrown by a 600lb. heifer and thrown on top of a rattlesnake thanks to brother Robert "Bob".  He was an electrician with Southwestern Electric, an outdoorsman, a husband, an he sure did love my mama!   But most importantly, he was my daddy and he had a signature smile that never left his face.
